So here I sit in the hotel-of-the-night—nearly done with
Nashville, but I’ve still got to do the city icon cartoon(s). There was so much to see here I could easily
spend weeks trying to capture the city and all its neighborhoods, not just The
District I spent so much time in! I’m
going to keep thinking about the various things I want to incorporate into a
cartoon sketch and see if I can work those out in the morning—I may have to
just focus on one and save the others for later when I’m stuck in mass transit
for hours and hours. I also still have
some time in the morning to kick around before I leave, and I keep thinking I
want to go back to Music Row and grab a few photos.
Music Row is what they call 16th and 17th
Streets on the west end of town near Vanderbilt University, and it’s where most
of the city’s recording businesses are.
You’d think they’d be small corporate-looking buildings or something,
but the street is actually full of posh and very beautiful craftsman-style
houses. The entire length of each street
for about two blocks is nothing but studio, next to studio, next to studio, and
because each one has a small sign out front with the studio’s name, it reminded
me of every college’s Fraternity Row. . . but with more class and less beer can
ornamentation. Perfect for an icon line-up,
cartoon style!
That’s it for tonight: tomorrow is another long traveling
day. A few more pictures have been added
to the Nashville photo album, too. 'Night!
